My last day as a chef was Mother's Day of this year, and hopped on board with an in-person bootcamp in Detroit focusing on Front End. It was an incredibly scary and intense experience, but it was the best decision I could have made. In 10wks I learned more and became more competent with JS & Angular than I ever expected. I learn the best with complete immersion, and they provided that in spades.
I am right at 4wks out of bootcamp, and I just sent my acceptance email for a Full Stack Dev position about 20min ago. My cohort had just over 20ppl, and to my knowledge 30-40% of us now have a position.
What I will say on the competition aspect of it:
I blew the ever living doors off of most of the CS grads with technical ability, but they had me on theory and CS knowledge. You will most likely have to teach yourself a lot of the theory, but if you have the technical ability, it'll balance out some short comings.
